Descrizione

Sordo's Barolo DOCG "Gabutti" is a sublime expression of one of the most prestigious terroirs in the Piedmont region. Produced exclusively with selected Nebbiolo grapes, this wine bears witness to the excellence that Sordo winery imparts through respect for tradition and modern winemaking techniques.

With a deep garnet red color, the Barolo "Gabutti" offers a complex and intensely aromatic bouquet. Notes of ripe fruit such as cherry and plum blend with hints of tobacco, leather, and delicate touches of chocolate and vanilla, resulting from careful aging in barriques. On the palate, it is robust and enveloping, with a well-balanced tannic structure that promises excellent aging potential.

The impact on the palate is vigorous yet harmonious, with a full entry followed by a transition where fruit and spices perfectly integrate with lively acidity and a long-lasting aromatic persistence. The finish is long and memorable, leaving a trace of aromatic complexity that invites reflection.

This Barolo is ideal for pairing with rich and savory dishes such as red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses. A wine that stands out for its ability to evolve beautifully over time, making it an indispensable addition for connoisseurs and collectors of great Italian wines.

Serve at a temperature of 18-20°C and decant for at least an hour before serving to fully enjoy its expressiveness. A true jewel of Piedmont that encapsulates the passion and art of Italian winemaking.

Winery history

The estate is led by the Bricolo family: parents Alberta and Roberto started the business, and it is now managed by their daughter Roberta. According to the winery, it was founded by the parents in 1975; in 2014 the current owners began the conversion to organic viticulture, which resulted in vineyard certification. Over the years the facilities have been expanded with architectural additions focused on hospitality and wine tourism.

Production philosophy

The company's philosophy centers on organic viticulture and sustainability: the organic approach is regarded as an indispensable choice to safeguard health and the land and to enhance the relationship between soil, vine and climate, with winemaking planned already in the vineyard.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located on the moraine hills around the village of Custoza, in the municipality of Sommacampagna, on glacially derived soils rich in pebbles and calcium carbonate, which impart minerality and salinity to the wines, typical of the Lake Garda area.

Awards and recognitions

Among the recognitions reported by the press and industry platforms are: Tre Bicchieri for the Custoza 'San Michelin'; international awards such as a Silver Medal and mentions in Decanter for the Custoza Superiore 'Summa'; and Mundus Vini medals for wines such as Ca' Nova.
